A great laptop! *****,
Apple has reinvented the iBook as one of the best laptops. Not just Mac, but in all of the PC world. The second generation of this version has a faster processor, a larger hard drive, and still looks great. People are drawn to look at this machine from the time you pull it from it’s case. I would certainly recommend a RAM upgrade. 128 is okay, but it is just barely getting by. I’d suggest at least doubling that. Since the iBook only has one RAM slot, you may want to do that on ordering. However, you can get quality chips for less from other sources, and since it’s a fairly simple install you can do it yourself in a few minutes.
I use my iBook as a webmaster with Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, and iMovie 2. My digital camera mounts as an external hard drive. My digital video camera links through the Firewire port with no fuss at all.
Overall, I would highly recommend the iBook.

|powerful, pretty & perfect,
If you are trying to decide between this ibook and the more expensive powerbook, go for this one. Why pay more, when this one has everything you need? This is a laptop that you can take everywhere an there’s no need to fear a few bumps or knocks because this ibook seems pretty sturdy. Plus, the DVD/CDRW drive beats the rest of the notebooks hands down. I’ve only had mine 3 weeks, but so far, it really rocks!

|So Happy, bought 2!,
I own the new 14.1″ 2002 iBook, and these computers are awesome. OS X aquaface is absolutely stunning, and all the new products for OS X such as Microsoft X, Acrobat 5, are 10 X better to look at than their predacesors of OS 9. I can’t wait for Photoshop in OS X! The speed with the preinstalled 256MB Ram is a little too slow for my taste, but after installing a 512MB/PC-133 dimm to bump me up to 640MB, I am cruzing at lightening speeds. Even Mac haters have admitted to me being enchanted by the outer and inner appearance of the glamorous icebook. Oh, the second one purchased is my husbands (a die hard Windows user)! Ha!
